If there is a salary cap in baseball it isn't very meaningful. The rich always get richer.

Correct, it's not a big contract like Yamamoto was.

30 career wins in 4 seasons. And no hits in 11 at bats, no threat to Shohei lol. So interesting because none of his possible outcomes -- superstardom, bust, career ending injury, average -- would really be a surprise.

Some info from an article I read about him. A few injuries the last 2 seasons which may not bode well especially since shoulder injuries seem to be more problematic than elbow injuries these days.
"Because he is under 25 and does not have six years of service time in NPB, Sasaki is considered an international amateur by MLB and limited to a minor-league contract subject to the signing pools." "Los Angeles has up to $5,146,200 available in its international signing bonus pool, though the Dodgers could make trades in the next week to increase the amount by up to 60%." "Sasaki was 10-5 with a 2.35 ERA in 18 games last year, striking out 129 hitters in 111 innings during a season limited by shoulder inflammation. He went 7-4 with a 1.78 ERA in 15 starts in 2023, when he had an oblique injury. He has a 29-15 career record with a 2.10 ERA over four seasons with the Marines and pitched a perfect game against Orix in April 2022." "The Dodgers are planning to use a six-man rotation, which could ease Sasaki’s transition to Major League Baseball,"

Patiently waiting for talent from the Welsh Baseball League to get better so some of the East Coast teams can benefit from dynamite overseas ballplayers.

The Dodgers were the favorites, which of course was denied, so we could have a long dog and pony show that ended up with...him going to the Dodgers.
Couldn't we have saved two months of worthless news items and just cut to the chase?
